Simple notions from a developer
Without further ado, here they are. These both happened years ago, so I’m likely paraphrasing, but here’s they retain the spirit in which they were given. “If I am going to be spending time reading anyway, I may as well read something that will help my career.” –Timothy Flory “If it took you ten hours […]
Well, it’s been much longer than I had planned between writing here. But I have a reason excuse? I just purchased my first home. It’s pretty exhausting and umm just really a general pain in the ass. However it is also pretty damn exciting. I’m relatively late to the game at 38 for a first […]
Well this is more of a bag of screen-shots than a blog post, but check this out. Now this is one nice taskman! The default opening tab is “Processes” and the CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network throb a darker yellow then there is notable activity Then the “Performance” tab which has sub views for CPU, […]
Over the course of my career, heck, over the course of my life, I’ve had a reoccurring, “issue” shall we say. In a nutshell, I feel like doing some programming, but what shall I write? You see, programming for me, since the age of nine, has been my hobby. I just happen to be one […]
First, a disclaimer, this is basically some prototyping I did to discover how feasible this stuff is in reality. It is not an attempt to provide any sort of framework for consumption of others, but arguably the concepts could be used to that end. Feel free to appropriate any of it at will in any […]

I am sure this is obvious to every web developer using Microsoft’s MVC implementation with asp.net, but for those looking to move from standard asp.net to an MVC platform, this might not come to mind. The scenario is, you want to provide application data to a browser-side UI (for use with auto-complete textboxes, asynchronously updating […]
So the past couple of weeks have been interesting for me regarding career options. Perhaps that’s not the right phrase, my career is the same (Software Development, or as we real mean in the trenches say, Programming), the difference is for whom I will be shilling (and I mean that in only the loving-est of […]
I’ve been hearing about ifttt for a few weeks now so I thought I would pop on by to check it out. To say it is freakin’ amazing is grossly understating the matter. In a nut shell, the site allows you to pick events supported by various web applications (the This portion of IFTTT) and […]
I just ran YSlow on my site… It’s a great tool with real help on speeding up your site. But invariably, it always punches ya in the gut when your head is turned with a D or F. The downside of not writing your own publishing platform, various systems do things differently and some are […]
